I love all these idiotic Trump supporters and their "Silent Majority" signs. They truly believe that the only reason they lost the last two elections is because they sent up a nice guy that tried to be to PC, and millions of voters stayed home because of it. They truly believe that if only they had a candidate that really spoke up and stated everything they believed without fear that millions of voters will get up off the sidelines and put their bigoted windbag candidate in the white house. If the establishment wants to try and get back any semblance of control over their party the best thing they can do is vote Clinton. It is only when Trump's supporters are forced to see this idiot get abso****inglutely decimated in the general election that they will consider falling back in line. If Trump wins you're just going to get more Trumps.

The irony is that Hillary Clinton, the woman republicans have been lambasting, attacking, and absolutely hell bound and determined to destroy is now the only thing left that can save the Republican Party from themselves.
 
No matter what happens with Trump his supporters are not going to fall in line with what the establishment wants.

Good idea save the Republican party and trash the country.

Yes they will. That's the point of this whole Silent Majority thing. It proves that they are delusion. They've been living in an alternate reality created by Fox News and conservative radio. Bringing that reality crashing in on their heads to the point where there is no way they can continue to deny it is the only way back.

Bull****. Trump has support across the party lines. His support comes from people left in the dust and ignored. The truth is people lose in politics, they are ignored in politics, and none of them go away.

Zero chance. I will be drinking the salty tears of conservatives for a good long while after today.
 
Sorry, but no. Trump barely has support in his own party.
How can Trump have "barely any support in his own party" while winning the nomination? You're delusional.

I assume he means the actual dues paying members of the party, the establishment.

And where did you hear that? CNN or the BBC? Hillary doesn't have much support in her party either. Remember many voters who prefer Sanders have chosen Trump as a second choice.

Yeah, he'll barely win half the delegates and every person who didn't vote for him hates him. Unlike a reasonable political party like the democrats where pretty much everyone will be happy with either candidate.
 
And where did you hear that?
Directly from the mouths of republicans who have stated they'd rather die than support Trump.

False, more people actually voted for Hillary in the Dem primary than voted for Trump in the Rep primary, and unlike Trump most Bernie supporters are fine with Hillary.

Remember many voters who prefer Sanders have chosen Trump as a second choice.

If by "many" you mean about 12, then sure. There are a few Bernie people that might vote third party or just stay home, but not many. If Republicans would have nominated Kasich or Rubio they might have flipped, but there is zero chance that any significant number of Bernie supporters will do anything to risk Trump winning the presidency.

Also this... Some randoms came off the street and voted for him, but actual republicans who truly believe in the full party platform? Pretty much nobody.

The establishment doesn't believe in the party platform. lulz. When was the last time the GOP controlled congress decreased spending. What you're referring to are naive, wild eyed idealists who have no idea how the real world works.

Better question..... When was the last time any GOP controlled congress with a GOP controlled white house controlled spending?
